My husband is a descendant of John Lee
Phillips b. 1 Nov 1891 and Mattie
Graham b. 2 Feb 1892. John Lee
Phillips was son of James
Bauswell Phillips b. 25 Oct 1854 in
Alabama and Louisa Manika
Watkins b. 12 Jan 1860 in
Alabama.
I have a copy of their marriage certificate. They were married in
Tuscaloosa County,
Alabama 20 Jan 1878. Her name on the certificate is Eliza. The certificate is also signed by a John N. Phillips.
Louisa's death certificate shows that her mother's name was Martha
Watkins born in
Alabama but lists her father as unknown.
I haven't done a lot of research on this family. I didn't know that James B.'s father was James Calvin
Phillips. What information can you share with me on him? Do you know his mother's name?
